Part of the bigger update

I have been trying to get some homework done, so I have not updated like I wanted to, but I did want to toss out some key stuff that's happened.

1. Dave will definitely be here for the tournament! I'm really excited, and so is everyone else.

2. We received a very large donation of food from P.O. Newsstand and Cafe in conjunction with Food Services of America. We'll have plenty of food for the tournament. Bino's and Albertson's also donated food.

3. Also, we have gotten a weekend package to Deadwood arranged! Actually Stacie Boehm got the night at the Silverado Casino for us and Avis Car Rental is donating a weekend car rental. The winner must be 21 to receive this prize.

4. I will be on Public Pulse 930 AM on Thursday at around 8:20 or so to talk about the tournament.

5. A note for the volunteers. All volunteers who are volunteering at the beginning of the tournament need to be at the Dome by 10:30. Also, many of the volunteers are going to wear white shirts and black pants, but this isn't mandatory. I'm going to have name tags for everyone who is volunteering, so that people know who you are and can ask questions, such as "Where is the bathroom, auction room, etc..."

Tournament fees are as follows:
$20 for students and $30 for community with the option of a $10 add-in at the registration table. Raffle tickets are $1 for 1, $5 for 6, $10 for 12, and $20 for 25. It begins at 7 p.m. and is need be present to win, except for the staff and faculty going to Gillette. They may mark their tickets, and if we pull one of those, we know to write the number down. A note about the raffle: We do have alcohol in our raffle. If your ticket is pulled and you are underage or have no ID, we will award you an alternate prize. Sheridan College PD will check ID. So, if you're of age and like wine, scotch, or tequila, bring your ID with you for a chance to win those prizes. Our dance begins at 9 p.m. Cover charge is $5 for students and staff that went to Gillette and $10 for community members unless you play poker. If so, you get in free. The food will be available all day by donation.

I picked up our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place plaques from the Trophy Case and they look great. They'll look great on your wall, so enter the tourney!

Well, that's about it for now. I'm beat and I need sleep. Tomorrow, I'll try to get more up on the site.
